Bowling Birthday Cake

Bowling Birthday Cake

This cake was ordered by a wife for the surprise birthday to celebrate the 30th birthday and a 300 game for her husband.  This cake was fun to make and also the first time I’ve used an airbrush!

Cake for the Bishop

Cake for the Bishop

Dad asked me to make a cake for his Church.  Their bishop was coming to their Church for a visit.  The fondant cutout was NOT as easy as it looks!

This cake is a sample cake for an upcoming project that has the potential to keep me very busy!  I love how it turned out, but next time, the big bow will be purple!   Those cupcakes are jumbo cupcakes!  They are about twice the size of a normal cupcake!  I’m actually liking how they came out!

New Web Address

October 5, 2009 · 2 Comments

Hi folks!  After hemming and hawing and researching and researching…I’ve FINALLY purchased www.cakeislife.com!  For now, you can still access the blog from cakeislife.wordpress.com, but I’ll be working on a new website in the next coming weeks and it will go away.  So it would be good to change your bookmarks now so you can still access the site later!  (Don’t worry, I’ll be giving you a warning before it all happens!)

A Baptism, Some Birthdays & an Anniversary

October 2, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The first cake was for my husband’s cousin’s daughter’s baptism (whew!).  It was a fun cake and I enjoyed testing out some new ways to do things!

The second two cakes were ordered by my Dad for an October birthday party at his work.  I really enjoyed going back to the Wilton-flower roots, as this is my 1-year anniversary month for when I first started taking classes.  It was then that I realized how much I truly enjoyed decorating and creating cakes!  So, Thanks Dad!

Birthdays…

September 23, 2009 · 2 Comments

The sunflower cake was done about a week ago for my very best girly friend’s birthday.  That cake smelled GOOOOOD!

The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup cake was for a 6-year old’s birthday…good thing his name started with an “r”…really made the top easy!

And these are a few of my favorite things…

Fall is my favorite season!  I love the weather, the colors, the smells in the air, the crispness before winter hits…I love it all.  So when I was asked to do a fall-themed cake, I was super excited.  The bride had lots of ideas, so we combined them all together into this cake.  Every tier was a different flavor and three side cakes were ordered with it, all serving 360 people!  It was one big cake!

A note from management…

August 30, 2009 · Leave a Comment

After much thought and consideration, I will not be taking cake orders for the following weeks:

Aug 30th-Sept. 6th (booked)
Sept. 6th-Sept. 13th (personal)
Nov. 1st-Nov. 8th (friend’s wedding)
Dec. 27th-Jan. 3rd (personal)

I will try to keep this post updated and will probably turn it into a calendar page after the next post to keep it from getting lost.

Thanks so much (and sorry if you were looking at one of those weeks for a cake!  I’d be glad to make it at a later date!

Sorry it’s taken me a long time to post these, but this was a super busy weekend!  Along with the cakes, we had friends staying with us and my sister was throwing a House-Warming Party.

Surprises to come…so keep visiting!  One involves apples and the other pumpkins!

I’m THRILLED with how this cake turned out!  It turned out better than the vision in my head!  It was for a young lady turning 7 and it matched their party decorations perfectly!  She had a black tablecloth on the table and it really set off this cake!   Thanks for the cake referral, Doreen!
